Welcome

Welcome! We're 3 generations of women who said farewell to sunny Southern California and waved 'hi y'all' to sultry South Carolina. We love helping other women in need. I'm not saying you are needy! But don't you love getting tips from women who know something more than you in specific areas?

My daughter, Jacquie, is a certified nutritionist and I'm learning some easy steps to becoming healthier as the days--and years--go by. She owns and works at Life Wellness Center in Lexington, SC with her husband of 25 years, Dr. Thomas Blake.

My 22-year-old granddaughter, Destiny, is a make-up artist with MAC Cosmetics in Columbia, SC. She is teaching me simple ways to add a little glitter to my life ... and don't we all need some glitter now and then? She loves her Zumba classes and playing with her two labs.

And me? Well, through the years--sixty-eight at this writing--I've gleaned from some marvelous mentors and learned from the hard knocks of life how to fulfill the dreams that God has placed in me. I'm a writer, and I recently published my first novel, Lady and the Sea, based on my life story.

Summertime and the living' is ... easy ... hectic ... crazy ... fun ....

Summer wedding reception 2015
Just checking in to say that the GLITS Gals are alive and well and enjoying the summer.

 Destiny is busy with MAC Cosmetics, leading zumba classes at Gold's Gym, and starting up a wonderful business called IsaGenix.  I just started the program on Monday and I already lost four pounds and feel so much more energetic ... that is what this program is supposed to do.  

 Jacquie is focusing on her nutrition  passion and is also involved with IsaGenix.  Her and Tom spend a lot of time on the lake fishing and relaxing.  Since Tom bought her a karoake setup, she has hosted summer karaoke parties and they have been a blast!

 Rob and I recently returned from a 21-day journey to the flood disaster in Wimberley, Texas.  We bought a vintage motor home and consider it our second home.  We relaxed four days at Dreher Island State Park on Lake Murray and we plan to return to our home away from home.
Destiny's 24th Birthday
We hope you are having a sunny summer.  Don't forget to reach out and help someone.  You never know when you might need a helping hand.

Little acts of kindness which we render to each other in every day life, are like flowers by the wayside to the traveler; they serve to gladden the heart and relieve the tedium of life's journey.

Christmas Glam Time!

GLITS Gals ~ December 2013
Christmas time at the Riverbank Zoo, Columbia, SC

It's Christmas!
We may run, walk, skate, drive, or fly,
but let us never lose sight of 
the Reason for the season,
or miss a chance to see a snowflake on the way.

Sharon:   Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year.  And the busiest.  In the hustle and bustle of the days ahead, lets not forget the Reason for the Season.  Jesus!  Christmas carols fill the sound waves on the radio and in our local churches.  And of course there's the shopping for family and our special friends.  Take your time shopping.  Choose wisely.  Gifts don't have to have money written all over them.  Let your presents come from your heart.  Jacquie already gave me a little Christmas bag full of little goodies ... a small candle with ice skates, peppermints, dark-chocolat candy bar, peppermint lotion... all yummies she knew I'd savor.  So thoughtful.

A few tips for the Christmas season from the GLITS Gals:

Jacquie:  Park a few spaces farther when you go to the busy shopping malls.  Enjoy walking those stores!  Go ahead and eat your favorite holiday food -- just remember to drink your morning smoothie and to drink extra water.

Destiny:  Go ahead!  Add a splash of red to your lips, cheeks, and wardrobe.  And don't forget the glitzy red nail polish.  

Sharon:  Any readers on your Christmas List?  Order a signed copy of my novel, Lady and the Sea, (also available on www.amazon.com and e-books) on my website:  www.sharonleaf.com










The GLITS Gals wish you a very Merry Christmas
and oceans of blessings for the New Year!  


Unto us a child is born
A Savior
Christ the Lord!

A few tips for Mother's Day from the GLITS Gals


Mother's Day flowers from son, Shawn 2009

The GLITS gals have a few tips for Mother's Day...

 Destiny:  Give a 'goody bag' of lotion, cleansing cream, make-up, whatever you think your mom would enjoy.  You can spend a lot, or if you're on a budget like me, take a trip to your local drug store (CVS, Long's).  Give mom something that she would never buy for herself that will bring out the diva in her!

Jacquie:  How about a gift card for a massage?  Whether an hour, or even 30 minutes, your mother will feel like a new woman!

Sharon:  If your mother is a reader, may I suggest LADY and the SEA, a novel based on my true story.  You can purchase my book through Amazon.com, E-books, or go to my website at www.sharonleaf.com.  After reading, look out!  Your mom will be ready to take on the next adventure that comes her way.

Now, after applying her diva make-up and having a soothing massage, good ol' mom will look and feel like a million dollars when she curls up with her new book!

Whatever you can afford, big or small, make sure you give your mother a big hug, or if she lives far away, a phone call will do just fine.  But let's remember ... the most important gift of all is love.

We wish you health and blessings for
 MOTHER'S DAY!!
